Old King Diagnostic Machine

[Joelster]

Can't seem to find much on the history of these things. Over shadowed by the Sun line of equipment I'd bet. I picked it up for a song at an antique dealer and it fits the garage decor very nicely. I don't dare plug it in as the wiring is 80+ years old and a lot of the insulation is shot. @midlife would have a field day with this thing lol!

I'd be willing to bet that when it was new someone looked inside the back and said, "modern technology is just too complicated!"

Holy crap, cool and scary at the same time!

Tubes! The only tubes I want to deal with are tube tops, and love removing them!

My girlfriend spent an hour cleaning it and it turned out very nice! I tell all of my new-car friends that this machine is HP Tuners for old school stuff. Made for a cool photo op.

Oh BTW I paid $75 for it!

That is a song for sure! Did he throw in the Camaro T for free?

 

[Joelster]

Nope lol. We have 3 Camaro's. I probably have 25 Camaro shirts. I know that's a 4-letter word around here lol.
